Steve Aoki recently sat down with the guys at Pulse SF to discuss the current electronic music movement in San Francisco, as well as our weekly-event Obey The Kitty, held every Wednesday in the heart of the Bay Area. Here’s what they had to say:

“Steve Aoki has become one of the most talked about DJ’s and producers in electronic music today, and will release his newest album Wonderland on December 20th. But what some don’t know is that Aoki has run his own record label Dim Mak for the past 15 years exposing bands and Djs like Bloc Party, The Kills, and many more to the world. One of Dim Mak’s newest ventures is a weekly party on Wednesday’s at Vessel called Obey the Kitty featuring international artists from across the globe. SF Station chatted with Aoki about all of this and more in an exclusive interview.”

“From L.A. To The Bay” Dim Mak and Vessel S.F. team up every Wednesday to bring you “Obey The Kitty”, a weekly party at the award winning Vessel San Francisco. The inaugural party will be Wednesday, July 27 and then continue every Wednesday after that on August 24.

Located at 85 Campton Pl, San Francisco, CA 94108. Beneath Giorgio Armani and Niketown in the heart of San Francisco’s Union Square District, Vessel represents a luxurious nightclub in signature San Francisco style. Vessel is partnering with Dim Mak Records, the most distinguished name in West Coast nightlife to bring you a weekly party San Francisco has never seen. With Vessels award winning Funktion One sound system, state of the art LED lighting, and the infamous Dim Mak party posse behind the decks, do yourself a favor and change your day off to Thursday ahead of time!

The first Dim Mak Obey The Kitty event will feature the musical stylings of Dim Mak’s Them Jeans, Blake Miller of Moving Units (DJ set), Richie Panic and Aaron Axelsen. For complimentary admission, email your name to ObeyTheKitty@DimMak.com.

In 1996, Steve Aoki founded DIM MAK and developed it into an influential independent record label and music lifestyle brand. Responsible for launching the careers of seminal acts such as Bloc Party, The Bloody Beetroots, The Chainsmokers, Deorro, Keys N Krates and countless others, the independently owned DIM MAK has consistently pushed new musical movements via its staunch DIY ethos. With a back catalog hundreds of records deep, a history of legendary live events, and a fully formed clothing line, Dim Mak continues its global mission of promoting boundary-pushing music and culture ‘by any means necessary.’
